G., This box can capture over the air (OTA) off your antenna or at standard quality (SD) through RCA cables or S-Video. If your DVR is not HD, then this box will do the trick. If you want HD quality, I recommend using component output (HDMI will not work) with Hauppauge 1212 HD-PVR (not the HD-PVR 2 or Gaming editions). That is what I use to capture video from my DVR. The AVerMedia Home Free Plus works great for OTA recording with Windows 7 (but the SiliconDust HDHomeFree is actually an even better choice for OTA). Also, I have heard some have problems getting the AverMedia to work well with Windows 8.

Just change/convert the win 7 video with MCEBuddy located here http://mcebuddy2x.codeplex.com/releases/view/116426 . I use it all the time with TV shows I record on the Windows Media Center. It converts them to a more compact size and a more universal format, AND it can be set up to do it automatically after the show is recorded.

While watching from (or via) the Magnavox (output to my TV), I am only able to watch a program pre-recorded on the HDD/DVR at the same time that another program is being recorded. Cannot tune to more than one station at a time (to record one, while attempting to watch another). . .Not sure I quite understand J. Kavanaugh's answer, but sounds like something cool to learn to do!

Delete the files when you view them after plugging into your laptop/desktop. If you reach saturation, I figure it stops recording. Not sure.

Yes. It will still record/view on the DVR and on local LAN/Wifi Network without issue

I've been wondering the same thing, only I have Windows XP Media Center. I'd like to be able to DVR shows on the PC and watch them on my regular TV. I'm starting to think I should just have a dedicated PC for the TV.

I actually don't own one anymore, but no...you cannot record more than one show at a time because unfortunately, this machine only has one tuner in it. However, a similar but better DVR is Tablo, which comes in a two tuner and four tuner version.

Correct, this device is not direct recorder. You have to have a computer/laptop to run the software and to store the captured data.

I never tried it but it seems reasonable that it would record from a DVR. Since I got rid of it years ago I can't test it to see if it would, however. Good luck!

I have not explored the option but from my installing it, it does not seem possible without an external recording device from the output on the device.

Yes, this does have the "record what you hear" feature. I would also suggest you look at the products at www.DAK.com. There products are the most reasonable and work great. There support is also unbeatable.

Think about what you're asking... Takes 2 PCs - 1st PC: Source & 2nd PC Capture. Been there, done that. Hope this helps!

Yes, use the hdmi setting on your dvr and change the settings on your comp to output via dvi.

Your PC becomes the DVR, but it must be left on. Nothing will be recorded when the PC is turned off.

I have the same question. What program can I use on my computer to access what is recorded when I plug the recorder into the computer?

Yes, when i record games, i actually use the "capturing" window as my display... it has ZERO delay

I use windows xp to record. It works great. If you're having a hard time just download the drivers off of divide sign that support the mbox. Have fun

Just plug it in into the mike symbol on your computer. I had to turn the volume way up in order to hear what was being recorded.
